The Tower of the Winds or the Horologion of Andronikos Kyrrhestes is an octagonal Pentelic marble clocktower in the Roman Agora in Athens that functioned as a horologion or "timepiece". It is considered the world's first meteorological station. Unofficially, the monument is also called Aerides (Greek: Αέρηδες), which means Winds.

A long exposure of the local landmark in the day's last light. This is the tower you can see across the water in my previous post. The clouds were crawling at a snail's pace, hence I let it go for over two minutes. Lots of little hotspots of noise to remove - I hope I haven't missed any. Tripod, cable release and 10 stop ND filter.
Mirror, mirror on the wall,
who is the grandest tower of all?
Thank you for taking the time to visit, comment, fave or invite. I really appreciate them all.

DEN HOORN - The reformed church in Den Hoorn (Texel) is a striking church building in 1425 with a White Tower.
Tower of the parish church in Trumpington, a village just south of Cambridge.
The church is dedicated to Mary and Michael, with its oldest parts dating to around 1200. The tower is somewhat younger (ca 1330), and the whole church saw extensive renovation work in the 19th century - most notably by the Gothic Revival enthusiast William Butterfield (which I am sure impacted the work done).

Broadway Tower is a "folly" on Broadway Hill, near the large village of Broadway, in the English county of Worcestershire and was constructed at the second-highest point of the Cotswolds. In architecture, a "folly" is a building constructed primarily for decoration, but suggesting through its appearance some other purpose. The tower itself stands 65 feet (20 metres) high.
This "Saxon" tower was the brainchild of Capability Brown and designed by James Wyatt in 1794 in the form of a castle, and built for Lady Coventry in 1798–1799. (Wiki)

The arch is very large, with a 92-foot span. It is far from the largest Arch within Arches National Park. But the awe-inspiring immensity of Tower Arch comes as much from its impressive size as it does from its depth, and solid presence.

This time last year I was starting to prepare for my trip to Italy. After touring from Milan down to Sicily, we visited Paris for just one day.
I wish I had better photos of the Notre Dame Cathedral, which unfortunately I do not. The few I do have are very bright with tons of tourists standing in front. Perhaps when I can find some time I will try to do some editing to salvage the images.
I do however have a number of photos I took of the Eiffel Tower. This is one of my favorites from the day.
Round and round :) The small tower is only a staircase with beautiful steps made of stone, worn out during some centuries.
Thanks for visits and faves, comments highly appreciated and will be responded a.s.a.p!
Cheers
Joerg
